USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The massive waters of Loch Raven Reservoir dominate the landscape north of Towson, formed by the Loch Raven Dam along Gunpowder Falls. In the late 1950s and mid-1960s, this area of Baltimore County underwent significant suburban expansion, documented here by the purple-tinted growth of neighborhoods like Hampton Village and Loch Raven Village. The map captures a high density of institutional landmarks, including Towson State Teachers College, Goucher College, and the Hampton National Historical Site.
